“Love Song” by the Cure?!? Great tune, but isn’t that a bit too uptempo to qualify as a slow dance?

Good list but where’s “Best of My Love” by the Eagles? We slow-danced in 1976, too.

Where’s Chemical Warfare by Slayer??

I can die a happy man the day I see someone slow dancing to Pavement.

Send her my love – Journey
Toy Soldiers – Martika

Brian Mcknight- Back at One

Brian Mcknight- Back at One

Still can’t believe that Nazareth’s Love Hurts didn’t make it. Boo hoo hoo……my heart is breaking. Maybe it’s because the song wasn’t penned by them?????

elvis presley…cant help falling in love

1992: Whitney Houston, I Will Always Love You

ummm….#25?….i think someone f’d with your poll dude.

the entire ‘pet sounds’ lp is like slow dance bliss….

In Your Eyes should be #1………..forget that crappy movie Armageddon!

fffff…Aerosmith at #1…well-deserved for what was their loveliest song in years.

Ok, and how many years did it take us to get rid of Bryan Adams’ “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)”? You couldn’t escape that song for at least four years.

Where’s Chicago’s “Color My World” or Bread’s “I Want to Make it with You”–oh forgot, I’m old.

How about Coma, Estranged, November Rain, Patience, Madagascar, One In a Million, Civil War, Yesterdays, Knockin On Heaven’s door, these would all do, these should be on the list, from a “real man’s” perspective.

How about Coma, Estranged, November Rain, Patience, Madagascar, One In a Million, Civil War, Yesterdays, Knockin On Heaven’s door, these would all do, these should be on the list, from a “real man’s” perspective.

“Save a Prayer” is too uptempo for slow dancing, though I love it to bits.

I agree with “I Will Always Love You” even though it’s technically a breakup song. And “I Swear” by All 4 One is probably the slow dance song that first comes to mind from my middle school days (1994-96).

I’m sure some would enjoy a little slow dance to NIN’s “Closer” now and then…who doesn’t want to whisper “i want to fuck you like an animal” to a significant other?

P.S. Journey sucks!

“dance commander” – Electric six

And yes… i mean SLOW dance

“Anonymous – 1992: Whitney Houston, I Will Always Love You”

Unfortunately, Adam Sandler did a better version in the movie “Bulletproof” !

What is a Pavement? Never heard of it.

Give me Air Supply and I’ll slowdance all night long, baby!

Every Woman in the World
All Out of Love
Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You)
Even the Nights Are Better Making Love Out of Nothing at All

Oh Yeah. I’m melting.

Keep on Loving You by Reo Speedwagon

YOU GUYS ARE RETARDED PAVEMENT IS NEVER PLAYED AT MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCES BLAHH RAHHH I KILLL YOU

Umm, hello

KC&JoJo-All My Life

Gotta have more r&b on that list

No al green?

No soul or R&B? How can you mention slow music without those genres? How about Maxwell’s “Till the Cops Come Knockin’”

the best slow song ever,REASONS live by earth wind and fire

I agree with Jupiter: No TORI AMOS?
It’s time to see her on the RS cover.

Hmmm… Wish you were here is always nice to dance to…

love hurts should be on there somewhere

usually these lists are pretty good but this one is horrible the Aerosmith song is horrible and eternal flame is one of the worst songs ever. what about cry one more time or before the next teardrop falls. Honestly did you just listen to a soft rock station for two hours and wrote down the anwswers. Country should really be on this list and I hate country music. love songs are the one thing they are good at occasionally. the best Kristofferson slow songs would be a better list than this garbage.

Better watch your pacemakers their, people. Talk about an entire list of bloody dreck except for Pavement.

How can “Open Arms” by Journey not be #1?? Tell me of any woman who does’nt melt to it.And,tell me of any guy who did’nt do better after playin’ it.Plus,you’ll never get a better singing performance than Steve Perry’s.

Sest kokoski sam zaklala – Stojan BG

how about “my love”(Wings)and “the long and winding road”?I’ve danced on both with uh…someone,and it felt really good.

‘Pictures of You’ by The Cure and ‘Stay (Faraway,So Close!)’ by U2 definitely should be slow danced to alot more…even if they both are about past relationships.

Also,so should:
-’The Universal’ by Blur
-’Tender’ by Blur
-’She’ by Elvis Costello

in your eyes should’ve been in top5.
…and the GNR fan a few posts lower, gnr songs aren’t what i’d call.. for slow dancing. ESPECIALLY COMA?..

i hate aerosmith, steven tyler has a big mouth

It’s a shame I came in late for this one – I would’ve loved to see “Red Light Special” by TLC on the list. Dah well.

Can’t believe Alphaville’s Forever Young is not here. Guaranteed skin if you slowdance to it.

We Dance from Pavement. Oh, the memories, slow dancing with Cindy Sue at the Prom to Pavement. Those were the days.

Only You – Yaz
Believe – Lenny Kravitz
Lost Cause – Beck

Only You – Yaz
Believe – Lenny Kravitz
Lost Cause – Beck
One – U2

“I wanna cornhole you” by Neil Young

Provocative, yet sultry..

I can’t stress this enough folks.
“Bodies” Sex Pistols

I’m sorry, I meant by Jello Biafra.

The greatest slow song ever recorded:

At Last – Etta James

Aerosmith Kicks anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t know anything about rock n roll!!
Angel, Crazy, Amazing, What It Takes, Dream On, all great songs for slow dancing!

Bed Of Roses – Bon jovi
Mama I’m Coming Home – Ozzy
Everything I Do – Bryan Adams
Wind Of Change Scorpions
Is This Love – Whitesnake
Patience – GNR
When It’s Love – Van Halen

The Cure: “Catch”
Depeche mode: “somebody”

Elvis…I Can’t Help (Falling in love with you)

one is not a love song. even the edge has said that when people say that was there song at there wedding that he just wants to smack them for it cause its not a love song. listen to the lyrics. ITS A BREAK UP SONG

I think you guys put Pavement on the list for the hell of it…. good move….

This list smells like dirty ass.

I could give two shits about what the Edge says about One. A great slow dance song doesn’t have to be a love song. Plus, U2 should be lucky for the 90% of all the people who don’t know what the song is about. They are the same people who high five each other when they hear Crash at a wedding.
For me:

Love Will Tear Us Apart – Joy Division
Sour Times – Portishead

Carrie, Carrie, Carrie by Europe…least this song should have be in the top five…

Oh, and “One More Try” by George Michael is a must…I can smell the middle school gym just thinking about it….

Where is “When a Man Loves a Woman” by Percy Sledge?

Ummmmmm…….how could you leave off Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight!?!?!?

Ummm glycerine by Bush? Every grade 6, 7, 8 dance I can remember.

Purple Rain… in high school we loved that song at the dances because it lasts forever! Great chance to hold a girl without having to let her go.

Slave To Love – Bryan Ferry
Purple Rain – Prince
Pictures Of You – The Cure
Careless Whisper – Wham!
Drive – Cars

“For Your Love” by Ed Townsend, if this doesn’t make her melt in your arms and plant a warm wet one nothing will

Pavement #25?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

WTF?!? !?!?!!?!??!?!?!?!

…sh oulda been #1
actually Here would’ve been a better choice, but w/e.

“I Want To Know What Love Is” -Foreigner

“come back” off the new pearl jam album is amazing
not to mention “untitled” on yield by them as well

‘Please Forgive Me’ Bryan Adams

Ain’t Nobody
Rufus and Chaka Khan

I am very disappointed that Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight” was left off the list.

Looky here. When in the hell was the last time you took a slow dance? Because I’m guessing it was 1982. Having recently (February 9, 2004) been to a dance where I was a witness to not one but multiple slow dances, I would have to say that this entire list is off. Based on my experience the top 25 list should go something like this:

1 – 7. A bunch of heartbreakin’ country tunes.
8. Wonderful Tonight
9-25. A bunch of drunk heartbreakin’ country tunes.

I know this from my 2004 experience. As I was breakin’ my way on the dance floor to some old fashioned Rob Base, the DJ rudely interrupted my groove with
a tune about being drunk and crying but yet still being a man. Upset and trying to preserve the groove, I approached the DJ and politely told him that “no body enjoys listening to this S***” He then directed I turn around wherein I discovered that the dancefloor was now filled to capacity with
loving embracing couples swaying rhytmically to a man sing about he wanted to get a gun and shoot some out of ‘love’.

I learned something that night. I learned that RBV is good for one drink but not fifteen, but that’s another lesson. I also learned that the slow dance is a dying art form only being preserved through the contemporary country.

Therefore, I would have to say that this list has no frame of reference. Whoever came up with this list probably last went to a slow dance when slow dancing was considered immoral and lascivious. Therefore, I would like to put forth to you that this list has no frame of reference. Any challengers to this view must take me on on the dance floor.

Wham – Careless Whisper
Chris Bell – I am the Cosmos

anything by PANTERA

love hurts by nazareth and some song by bread should’ve been on there!!!! bread is the best band for soft rock slow songs. are u kidding me with “i don’t wanna miss a thing”. thats like the worst aerosmith song. blaahh! is this love by chris brown would’ve been good too. omg or “crusin together” by gwenyth paltrow and huey lewis.

Criminal to forget “Wonderful Tonight” by EC, as about a million people have already noted.

Fully agree with “Lady In Red” by Chris de Burgh. But is it about a prostitute? That’s romantic.

How can you have a list without Al Hudson “Something in the past”Commodores “Lady” Peaches and Herb “Reunited” Blue Magic “Sideshow Minnie Ripperton”Loving you” and how in the world Marvin Gayes’s “Lets get it on” is not number one says a lot about peoples musical taste

If – pink floyd

Not enough country or R&B ballads which were a mainstay at every high school dance I went to. We never played the fucking cure. Remember KC & Jojo “All my life, I prayed for someone like you”?

Why isn’t Slayer’s Angel of Death in there?

Why isn’t Slayer’s Angel of Death in there?

When I grew up, THE slow dance song was Color My World by Chicago. Not that I really like the song that much, but it was the perfect beat for the slow dance.

‘Color My World’ by Chicago and ‘If’ by Bread. Yes they are a little sappy but chicks still dig em. Aerosmith are ok, but they are still the poor man’s Rolling Stones and the broke man’s Zeppelin.

Seriously? Aerosmith? That is the shlockiest song ever. (to me. Please, Steven Tyler, don’t beat me up.)

I don’t know why, but for some reason I’ve always wanted to slow dance to John Lennon’s cover of Stand By Me.

And I’m not even a slowdance type of girl.

Ok. I just read the whole list. What were you all smoking when you wrote this? Boys 2 Men? Journey? Olivia Newton John?!

Why, why have you forsaken me?

More Than Words by Extreme is the ultimate!!!

More Than Words by Extreme is the ultimate!!!

Easy – Faith No More
and I second Elvis – Can’t help… or Love Me Tender, even better!

Based on your list, I’m assuming you can’t dance.

The Cure´s “Love Song” is too midtempo to be a good slow dance song. I nominate “Jersey Girl” (both the Bruce Springsteen and the Tom Waits versions) and also Bruce´s “Secret Garden”.

I immediately went looking for Procol Harem’s “Lighter Shade of Pale”, but I guess you guys are too young to understand it’s significance in this catagory. Your list also shows just how mighty-white your staff is.

As a DJ I would be beaten if I didn’t close a wedding with “Wonderful Tonight”- Eric Clapton. So where is it at here? “Always and Forever”- Heatwave and come on “Into The Mystic” Van Morrison????????

Sitting on the Dock O the Bay, Otis Redding

“Slow Dancing” by U2 featuring Willie Nelson

U2 – Love is Blindness (Bono did slow dance to this one with a chick from the crowd in the filmed ZooTV concert)

The Bee Gees – Someone Belonging to Someone

and indeed Come Back by Pearl Jam is a good one to slow dance to.

Love is all around The Troggs

love is all around The Troggs

Really showing my age, but how about Ronnie and the Hi-Lites’ “A Slow Dance”?

have to agree with glovy… my wife and I used Lennon’s version of Stand By Me as our wedding dance- the most perfect slow dance song ever, both for the lyrics and the way Lennon sings it. Absolute definition of love.

I’m really showing my age here, but my heart still skips a beat when I hear Johnny Rivers singing Swaying To The Music.

I’m really showing my age here, but my heart still skips a beat when I hear Johnny Rivers singing Swaying To The Music.

I really like Dylan’s “Workingman’s Blues #2″ or “Spirit on the Water” for this list (both from Modern Times; that’s what I’ve been listening to lately)

‘Avalon’ by Roxy Music. Bryan Ferry croons so beautifully. The lyrics don’t have to say ‘I love you, you complete me’ to be a great slow sentimental song. Every wedding I’ve ever been to had Etta Jame’s version of ‘At Last’, as well as Clapton’s ‘Wonderful Tonight’. Step into the heartland of the U.S.A. and you’ll always here ‘Wondeful Tonight’ at the smallest, cheapest to the biggest, most expensive weddings.

Not a big Journey fan, but ‘Open Arms’ is pretty irresistable. My first slow dance was to ‘Crimson & Clover’. I’ve always hated that song, but I kept that in check to have that dance with the girl I was infatuated with!

gosh, how has everyone forgotten Spanish Dancer from Steve Winwood’s Arc of a Diver?! or Hold On, from Steve Winwood’s first solo effort of 1977. Those ARE songs you HAVE to dance to; completely irresistible!! And to finish the perfect “Triad”, add Tired of Midnight blue, from George Harrison’s 1975 Extra Texture..that blues piano had it all!!

C’mon RS,where is Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game”?

how could you – and your readers – omit 60’s and 70’s classics like 2knights in white satin”, “knockin on heavens door” and, above all, “whiter shade of pale”?
maybe they were conceived to one of these songs…

how could you – and your readers – omit 60’s and 70’s classics like “knights in white satin”, “knockin on heavens door” and, above all, “whiter shade of pale”?

“King And Queen Of Hearts”, David Pomeranz
“Got To Believe In Magic”, David Pomeranz
“Right Next To Me”, Whistle*

*coz this is the first song me and my bfriend danced to.

where are:

“Hotel California” (Eagles)
“Wish you were here” (Pink Floyd)
“Wonderful tonight” (Clapton)
“The rain song” (Zeppelin)

man, did you ever dance a slow break at the club?

at least you had guts to include “How deep is your love”

Eagles – I Can’t Tell You Why.

“Groovin” by Smokey Robinson and
John Hiatt’s “Have a Little Faith”

i luv that most of the songs listed are from the 80s and 90s. i mean, only Aerosmith’s is a “recent” one. i think it says alot for the thinking caps of musicians these days.

alright, just a couple more:

“By Your Side”, Sade
“Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”
“Feels Like Home”
“To Make You Feel My Love”, Garth Brooks
“Lonesome Town”, Ricky Nelson

… yep, gotta have them sappy country songs up there.

No no no no nonononono

If you’re going to have an Aerosmith song, it should be “Dream On”. And where’s “Dream Weaver?”

America has gone insane.

Hello? Where is “Colour My World” by Chicago? That was “The” slow dance song of the early seventies.

Uhhh…”Colour My World” by Chicago.

when we dance /sting
for my wedding & taking you home /don henley
have a little faith in me /john hiatt, though my friend played the delbert mcclinton cover at his reception

“Dance Wit Me Slow” by Beth Nielsen Chapman, “Just For You’ by Alan Price, “I’m Your Man” by Leonard Cohen, “Nights In White Satin” by Moody Blues, “Yellow Moon” by The Neville Brothers and of course “Crazy” (look out for Willie Nelson/Susan Tedeschi version). But “Sensitive Kind” by J.J. Cale is certainly on top!

No seriosuly… WHERE is Wonderful Tonight? And whoever said “At last” By Etta James… that one’s good too. And what about “I’ll Be Seeing You?” And “Forever Young” by Alphaville too and I don’t cre who you are “All My Life” by KC and JoJo….

Pretty much, this list saddens me greatly.

man,this list is white as hell. how about “prototype” by outkast?

I already thought this was a lame idea for a list, and then you put one of the worst songs in the history of the world at the top to prove my point. OK, maybe I’m exaggerating, but it’s definitely the worst song by a band that has made many great songs in the past.

I don’t think any of these really have a bloody chance to be on any all time list…sorry,mate. Cheers*

A bunch of pinheads I knew (as if I knew anyone else). Did slow dancing to the Ramones debut. By the time we got to “Chainsaw” everyone had whizzed themselves.

slow dance as in slow. The Dells “Stay in my corner” 6min. & 10 seconds of really slow grind music

When I was a teenager and these things mattered it was always either

I’m not in love (10cc) or

If you leave me now (Chicago)

pavement. that’s right. although major leagues is far more fitting.

I agree with a poster that “Wicked Game” by Chris Isaak should definitely be on the list.

I would have put “Just Like Heaven” – The Cure.

Others I would have included:

“Could It Be I’m Falling In Love?” – Drifters or Spinners (not sure)

“More Than Words” – Extreme

“If You Don’t Know Me” – ?

“Holding Back The Years” – Simply Red

“Best of My Love” – Eagles

“True” – Spandau Ballet

When I was in Junior High school (during the Mid-80’s) every school dance ended with Stairway to Heaven. That was THE slow song to dance to. Funny that was the first one that popped into my head all these years later.

I would have to say that Love of a Lifetime by Firehouse, is the one I remember from high school.

Rush Rush-Paula Abdul
Vision of Love- Mariah Carey

Without a doubt Alphaville’s “Forever Young” and “Poop Chute Tonight” by Paul Simon should easily be #1 & #2

I definitely agree – Stairway to Heaven was the main slow slong to end a dance to when I was growing up. This list was a horrible list in general, at least you got Lady in Red right.

The Flamingos “I Only Have Eyes For You” is NUMBER ONE in my book. Glad it’s rated as high as it is on this list. Just a great love song!

Led Zeppelin is my all-time favorite band but how do you slow dance to “Stairway To Heaven.” The end of the song isn’t that slow and I can’t see how anyone can dance to this song. You might as well be slow dancing to “Dust In The Wind” by Kansas.

What’s up with all the “very white” etc comments? I have seen some lists here that are “very black,” and I know some very pale blues singers that can make the moon cry. The list has some great songs and they go together nicely as a collection. But as others have mentioned, there are some top slow songs that should of been on there. Peace.

I would trade “True Colors” for “Time After Time” both of them from Cyndi Lauper. I would also add Tina Turner’s “Private Dancer”. Thanks.

madonna’s track should have been at number1!

Madonna doesnt belong on the list, at least not that high.

Some classics of 90s are missing. Where are Whitney, Mariah and Celine, the ultimate divas? They had great slow dance songs on their albums, better than some that made the list.

Yo all these songs are great but the best slow song ever is (I Swear _ all 4 one)

I must to have something in my eyes, cause I can’t see Purple Rain there… I need a doctor!!!!!

November Rain gnr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

greatest slow dance songs ever? well then, where the hell is eric clapton’s “wonderful tonight”?

greatest slow dance songs ever? well then, where the hell is eric clapton’s “wonderful tonight”?

every rose has it’s thorn should be up there by poison

In my time, it was Comfortably numb and Stairway to heaven, those were the greatest, and one or the other ended every dance!!!

by the looks of those charts Zach Efron should be up there….

what happened to songs with some good beats?

god, this list is gaaaay

iris by the goo goo dolls was a big one in my day. i adore led zeppelin, but i dont see how one could slow dance to stairway to heaven. unchained melody should of taken #1 and pavement should be at #2, imo.

where’s sleepwaker by johnny and santo?

Where’s the Backstreet Boys?

they got number 1 right
why isn’t eric clapton – wonderful tonight on there?
november rain gnr probably should have been on this list before some of these.
as for stairway, i doesn’t exactly seem like a slow dance song
why no U2? one is great slow dancer

I just got rejected by the girl I just asked to the dance. I’ve never slow danced before, but I’ll find someone. I hope the song of my first slow dance will be “Faithfully” by Journey.

With or Without You by U2? this is the greatest love song ever made. And what about Every Breath You Take by the Police? Iris is the best one on here

If you’re talking greatest of all times, you gotta look at all genres. 3 country songs come to mind and could easily rank in the top 10 or 15:
When You Say Nothing At All – Allison Krause
Just You & I – Eddie Rabbit & Crystal Gayle
The Dance – Garth Brooks (yeah, I know, its a song about retrospect and love lost, but it still gets those country girls moist!)

Wheres:
Ben E. King-Stand by me
Joe cocker- You are so Beautiful
its probably too upbeat for a slow dance but
Creed-higher

KS OMKOM KILKOM 3EERY FEEKOM

The title is best “slow *dance* songs,” not simply love songs, so it seems to me like some of these songs aren’t too appropriate for slow dancing, although they are love songs.

What about Michael Buble “You don’t know me” and Sade “Please send me someone to love?”

Skin and blister

Iron hoof

(H)asta la vista, baby

(H)asta la vista, baby

Good list but I do believe “Wonderful Tonight” by the Clap and “Love Hurts” by Nazareth should be on there

Let me just say i was searching for good slow dance songs and the number one on here is the first one i thought of so it is nice to know that i actually have good taste thanks for the list

don’t wanna miss a thing? seriously? that has GOT TO BE one of the cheesiest, most unromantic songs I’ve ever heard.

I am still searching for song dont remember the bands name it was early 90s i think, slow song video was in black and white guy had long brown hair thats all I can think of

Can anybody tell me what band performed the songs title CHANGES?It was the 80’s slow rock.

We Belong Pat Benetar
Time After Time Cyndi Lauper

For Changes, maybe your thinking David Bowie?

Can you even slow dance to the Cure’s “Love Song”?

No List would be complete without “Waiting For A Girl Like You” from Foreigner or Sting’s “Fields Of Gold.” I would also add “More Than Words” by Extreme.

Almost Forgot:
“Going Home” by Kenny G The absolutely perfect slow dance beat.

heroes by david bowie
fields of gold by sting

im in grade 8 and last time i was at a dance was yesterday and the list is off in my oppinion. in the top 5 would be amazing by aerosmith, goodbye my lover by james blunt, ill be waiting by lenny kravitz, wonderful tonight by eric clapton, and lips of an angel by hinder

Lips Of An Angel by Hinder should totally be added yo the list.

Quote – “Can anybody tell me what band performed the songs title CHANGES?It was the 80’s slow rock.”

That would be the band “Tesla” in 1986.

I totally agree with the number one but what about “Because you loved me” by Celine Dion…? That is a top song… Madonna’s song shouldn’t be up that high… But my favourite would have to be “Without you” By Harry Nilsson.. That is a beautiful song.

Changes was a ballad written by Black Sabbath chorus goes “I’m going through changes”. Has piano accompaniment.

okay i dont know how long ago these were writting but ‘lips of an angel’ should not be on that list. yes i think its a good song but dude is singing about cheating on his girlfriend..listen to the lyrics people

I def agree that “Waiting for a girl like you” by Foreigner is a must have on here.

What about…
Cause we’ve ended as Lovers by Jeff Beck
or
Slow dancing in a burning room by John Mayer

where is I’ll Be by Edwain McCain

every body hurts by REM I think is the best that’s all

Slowing dancing in a burning room by john mayer should definately be on here.

EC’s “wonderful tonight” isn’t on here because he can’t sing. Listen to Babyface’s version…much better. Not to mention he should be somewhere on here for one of his songs.

“PAR AVION” – MIKE AND THE MECHANICS

AMAZING SONG… CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LISTEN…

“PAR AVION” – MIKE AND THE MECHANICS

AMAZING SONG… CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LISTEN…

um, hello!? spandau ballet, “true”!! the song that launched a thousand proms!

And “Careless Whisper,” Wham! The song that launched a thousand more…

How about:

U2 – All I Want Is You (taking out the instrumental at the end of the song)

Phil Collins – Againat All Odds

John Lennon – Woman

Lionel Ritchie – Hello (he was afterall one, if is not the most succesful artist of the 80s)

Percy Sledge – When A Man Loves A Woman

My 2 cents worth
the list SAYS : “This weekend’s rock list on the best slowdance songs ever ” anyone seethe word ROCK in the title noting about R&B, POP, Blues, Country or anything else simply ROCK

and its an open poll selection, unless you were there you dont know what was on the LIST. go to the other lists to grip about your Song not being on a list. C’mon people grow up !

How about Howard Jones- No one is to Blame… I agree with many people here… EC’s Wonderful Tonight, Miracles- Jefferson Starship??

i am not sure how this song was not even mentioned:

Total Eclipse of the heart, by of course.. Air Supply

Um, hello? What about Edwin McCain’s “I’ll Be”?

Other than that, I like the list. (Not too shocked by #1 though)

Wow. Any list of top slow dance songs that doesn’t have Led Zeppelin’s ‘Stairway To Heaven’ sitting firmly in #1 is pretty much pointless…

“Everybody’s got to learn sometimes” by the Korgis.

“open Arms” journey

every thing is good

THE cHRISTIANS – WORDS

i dont think these are better.there are many more.saturda nights,haddway,cher

and hotel california no ???

There’s this song that goes like
“pah pah pah paah paah….”
I don’t remember the lyrics!
Sound’s like you’re in the beach
It’s a very common song.
What’s the name of it?

There’s this song that goes like
“pah pah pah paah paah….”

I’m not gonna be picking the **** out of people just because they don’t have my fav. song but just so you know, Dont Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith is an awesome song! I remember the last time I went to a dance they played that song, and 95% of the people were dancing. A few other good dance songs are:

Dream On – Aerosmith
You say it best… – Allison Krauss
Amazed – Lonestar
Whiskey Lullaby – Brad Paisley
100 Years – Five For Fighting
For The Nights I Cant Remember -Hedley
Lips of An Angel – Hinder (I know it talks about cheating)
I’m Already There – Lonestar
Wht Hurts The Most – Rascal Flatts
My Wish – Rascal Flatts
Invisible – Taylor Swift (I know this isn’t rock, but it’s a good song)

But remember don’t curse me, cuz this is MY opinion, not yours.

Hope you like them.

ok I was looking over the comments again and seriously people!!! We’re not in the 80’s anymore! It’s now 2008 and by the way, I’d rather listen to Micheal Jackson that Backstreet Boys. (Not saying I like Micheal Jackson, he’s a freak too) Go check out Taylor Swift’s new music video, Love Story, not saying you’ll like it but I do!! Peace out

Elton John’s Wonderful Tonight is not on this so called list, then it is just thst, a ’so called’ list. give me an aspirin with a pinch of salt, that song should be #1 and everyone else fighting for 3rd

this is a comment to “Ron Jon”. For one yes that is a good song, but Elton John’s “wonderful tonight” is not on the list because “wonderful tonight” is by Eric Clapton not Elton john stupid.

I can’t believe that one of the greatest Rock slow songs ever was left out.”When I’m With You” by Sheriff was a song at least 20 years ahead of its time. For those unfamiliar with it, I suggest you take a listen.

good songs here are more
nickleback-someday
nick leback-if everyone cared
taylor swift- stay beutiful
3 doors down- here in your arms
jason mraz- im yours

Still In Love With You (Live) by Thin Lizzy.
Little Trip To Heaven by Tom Waits.

I hate to break it to all of those people who keep on saying that “we’re in 2008″ but:
1. it’s 2009 now
2. there’s ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with listening to older music
3. this is a rock list, NOT a pop list
4. everybody has different taste in music
plus + WHERE’S NOVEMBER RAIN?!!!!
i love that song to bits! How can it not be on here? it’s a slow song and a rock song!

Equality is not in regarding different things similarly, equality is in regarding different things differently. I think we can all understand that. I don’t see any reason for bashing people for their musical tastes. Find acceptance.

Many songs mentioned by people who commented are slow dance songs, but they are sad songs. Does anyone want to dance to Whiskey Lullaby – Brad Paisley, Which is about a soldier coming home and finding his love in bed with another guy? Or Guns N Roses – Since I Don’t Have You, Which is about not having you? Sure its a slow dance song but Is it really something you want to dance to with your guy or girl who you do have, or who hasn’t been cheating on you? Amazed – Lonestar, Bless the Broken Road – Rascall Flatts are songs that are not sad. Some of the dance songs mentioned do not have to be these two songs but should atleast be like them.

what is 1 of the best slow songs????

I can think of a few to add…
Endless Love by Lionel Ricci and Dianna Ross, Everything I Do by Brian Adams, & We’ve Only Just Begun by the Carpenters. Good choice for Don’t Want to Miss A Thing, it was the favorite song at my prom.

Pretty good list. I Don’t Want to miss a thing is and should be number 1. Personally, i think Comfortably Numb deserves a spot. If you want newer songs, i’d say Here Without You by 3 Doors Down or Miserable At Best by Mayday Parade.

george michael-never gonna dance again

how about close to you by the carpenters or my heart will go on celine deon???

how about close to you by the carpenters or my heart will go on celine deon???

Okay everyone! Armagedon was a disgusting, sad, pythetic movie but I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing is an excellent slow song, at every dance I’ve been to it filled the dance floor, something very few slow songs can do!!!

heloooooooooooooooo……….. …..where’s BLACK……….by Pearl jam…….don u think it shud b in the list????

hello!!! where is FADE INTO YOU by mazzy star. it should be on that list.

PURPLE RAIN ! ! !

Can’t beleive that no one picked this one

What about “Heaven” by Bryan Adams? …should’ve made the top 25 list of best slow dance songs.

Simple Man – Skynard – Definate Love Song with Rock Groove and Knocking On Heaven’s Door – Guns & Roses – without a doubtthe two best !!!
